There wasn't a lot of independence or college readiness. It was kind of just grown up middle school.

Jefferson has been a great experience for me. I was the football captain, made many connections and learned from some great teachers. Principal Anderson was a key contributor to the positive experience.

I love jefferson, its a very succesfull school with a lot of hard working and smart people to surround myself with and have a relatively similar intellect and interest in academics as I do, its not hard to find people interested in the same things you are and its very possible to succeed in a lot of fields at this school.

One son at Jefferson and one son in private school... No comparison. Jefferson is a disaster.

I wish private school had been a financial option. Will be elated when my child escapes this school.

I would rate it a 10 out of 10. My son has been challenged academically and treated fairly. He feels safe and secure while he's there and feels like the teachers and administrators have his back and are pulling for him. I can't ask for more than that.
